In exclusive voting by the head coaches of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC), the league office today announced the 2023 men's golf postseason award winners. 2023 All-SCAC Men's Golf Team

Cade Kiser of University of St. Thomas was named SCAC Golfer of the Year, while his head coach, Billy Tuten, earned Coach of the Year honors.

Kiser, a senior from Katy, Texas, helped lead St. Thomas to the 2023 SCAC men's team title, the program's first since joining the conference prior to the 2019 season, and a berth into the NCAA Division III Championships. At the championships, Kiser carded a team-best 69 (-3) in the final round to improve 18 places on the individual leaderboard and finish with a final score of 291, good for 23rd overall as he led the Celts to a 16th-place team finish.

A 2023 Division III PING All-Region selection, Kiser was consistently in contention for top spots all season with an adusted scoring average of 72.71 and nothing short of a top ten finish throughout the year. He won two tournaments (Tempest Invitational & Linda Lowrey Invitational) and earned SCAC Golfer of the Week honors three times - tops among all golfers this season. At the SCAC Championships at Riverhill Country Club, Kiser fired rounds of 74, 75 and 73 to finish at 222 and tied for sixth place, earning All-SCAC honors in the process.

Kiser, who finished 25th in the final NCAA Division III GolfStat player rankings (tops among all SCAC men), is the first St. Thomas golfer to earn SCAC Men's Golfer of the Year honors.
